MEXC Unveiled as Diamond Sponsor of GM Vietnam 2025 to Drive Web3 Adoption

We are delighted to officially welcome MEXC as a Diamond Sponsor of GM Vietnam 2025, the flagship Web3 conference taking place on August 1–2 at the National Convention Center, Hanoi.

This partnership marks a major milestone for both sides, reflecting our shared vision of empowering innovation, accelerating adoption, and unlocking the full potential of the blockchain industry in Southeast Asia and beyond. 

As one of the world’s most trusted and widely-used crypto exchanges, MEXC’s participation at this level sends a clear signal: Vietnam is becoming a vital hub for the next generation of Web3 builders, traders, and pioneers.

Global Exchange, Local Commitment

Founded in 2018, MEXC has grown into a global exchange with over 40 million users across 170+ countries, offering a wide range of services including spot, futures trading, staking, launchpads, and more.

MEXC is known not only for its robust infrastructure and deep liquidity, but also for its dedication to building a secure, accessible, and transparent trading environment for all. Over the years, the platform has earned a reputation for listing high-quality assets early, supporting emerging ecosystems, and staying at the forefront of innovation.

As the digital asset landscape matures, MEXC continues to prioritize user trust, product innovation, building global connections and exploring growth opportunities across Southeast Asia and beyond.

A Year of Acceleration and Impact

The past year has been nothing short of transformative for MEXC, as the exchange continued to push the boundaries of what a centralized platform can achieve in a decentralized world.

By the first quarter of 2025, MEXC consistently ranked among the top 10 global exchanges in terms of the trading volume, according to coingecko.

At the heart of MEXC’s momentum is its commitment to supporting early-stage innovation. Through its Launchpad and Kickstarter platforms, MEXC has played a key role in bringing some of the most promising crypto projects to market, providing them with deep liquidity, global exposure, and a trusted launch environment. This effort has not only expanded MEXC’s product suite but also positioned it as a key launch partner for the next generation of Web3 pioneers.

From a technology standpoint, MEXC made strategic moves to enhance scalability and performance. The exchange successfully integrated with several prominent Layer 2 networks, allowing users to enjoy faster transaction speeds and lower fees.

On the security front, MEXC prioritizes security with a $100 million Guardian Fund launched in June 2025, maintaining reserves above 100%, publishing Proof of Reserves every two months, and partnering with blockchain security auditor Hacken to further enhance platform security.

2024 also marked MEXC’s renewed focus on Southeast Asia, with tailored outreach initiatives, stronger community engagement, and growing collaboration across the region. MEXC has demonstrated that it is not just a global exchange, but also a committed local stakeholder.

All of these milestones signal one thing MEXC is leading. With bold vision, world-class execution, and an unwavering focus on user empowerment, MEXC is defining what it means to be a next-generation crypto exchange.

Meet MEXC at GM Vietnam 2025

As a Diamond Sponsor, MEXC will host exclusive activities at GM Vietnam 2025 – including product showcases, networking opportunities, and insights from senior leadership on the evolving global crypto landscape.

Whether you’re a builder, trader, founder, or investor, this is your opportunity to connect with one of the most influential players in the industry.

We look forward to welcoming the MEXC team to Hanoi this August — and to witnessing the meaningful collaborations that will emerge from this powerful convergence of minds. Let’s build Web3 in Vietnam together.

Charting New Frontiers: Sui Returns to GM Vietnam 2025 as Title Sponsor

We’re honored to welcome Sui as the Title Sponsor of GM Vietnam 2025. This continued partnership reflects Sui’s unwavering commitment to driving the next wave of decentralized innovation, especially across gaming, financial, and digital commerce.

Whether you’re building applications, creating content, or scaling businesses, Sui empowers you to unlock the full potential of blockchain, combining performance, simplicity, and creativity at its core.

Why Sui Stands Apart

Sui has emerged as a blockchain built for mass adoption. Its object-centric model enables intuitive asset ownership, sub-second finality, and horizontal scalability, supporting high throughput and low fees regardless of network load.. Coins, collectibles, credentials, and more exist as programmable, composable on-chain objects on Sui. Developers can build dynamic assets that evolve based on user activity, with all asset behavior recorded directly on-chain. These intelligent assets unlock richer applications and support more sustainable digital economies.

Sui’s unique architecture has driven rapid adoption and industry-leading performance. Its TVL ranks eighth among all blockchains, 30-day DEX volume routinely surpasses $10 billion, stablecoin supply peaked above $1.1 billion, and more than 10% of Sui’s DeFi TVL now consists of Bitcoin assets. 

Catalyzing Innovation across Industries

Sui is more than a blockchain, it’s a platform for next-generation digital experiences:

  • Finance: Sui enables near-instant settlement with minimal fees, allowing users to interact with markets in real time. In May, Sui processed over $13 billion in DEX trading volume, ranking 8th among all other blockchains by this metric. Builders can leverage Sui’s native central limit order book to create innovative, liquidity-rich DeFi products. And now, over 10% of Sui’s TVL comprises BTC assets, with nearly 1,800 BTC flowing into Sui DeFi since February 2025.
  • Institutions: Thanks to a combination of infrastructure and adoption, Sui is attracting partners like 21Shares, Canary, Grayscale, Franklin Templeton, VanEck, and Ant Financial, all of which have all launched or explored initiatives on the network.
  • Commerce: Brands can leverage Sui’s programmable assets to deliver engaging, cost-effective customer experiences— driving loyalty, personalization, and long-term engagement. Features like zkLogin enable seamless onboarding via Google or Facebook, removing wallet friction. Sui’s architecture supports dynamic NFTs and loyalty tokens, already used by brands like Red Bull Racing for next-gen fan engagement.
  • Gaming: Sui provides the core infrastructure Web3 games need, with  seamless abstraction, limitless scalability, fast transactions, and low, predictable costs. The SuiPlay0X1, co-developed with Playtron, is the first blockchain-enabled handheld console. With 30+ games live or in development, including XOCIETY, Warped Games, and Super-B, Sui backs developers with funding, co-marketing, and tooling to accelerate adoption.

Meet Sui at GM Vietnam 2025

Connect directly with the Sui team at GM Vietnam 2025, taking place August 1–2 at the National Convention Center in Hanoi:

  • Gain expert insights: Christian Thompson, Managing Director of the Sui Foundation, will speak at GM Vietnam.

Opening New Gateways: Gate Becomes Diamond Sponsor of GM Vietnam 2025

We’re honored to welcome Gate as a Diamond Sponsor of GM Vietnam 2025. As one of the most established and widely used crypto exchanges globally, Gate’s presence at the event underscores its long-standing commitment to building a secure, inclusive, and future-ready digital asset ecosystem.

Whether you’re trading, launching projects, or integrating blockchain infrastructure, Gate empowers users and institutions alike with an all-in-one platform that blends depth, security, and innovation — all while championing global compliance and user trust at its core.

Why Gate Stands Apart

Founded in 2013, Gate is one of the earliest operating crypto exchanges and a recognized global leader in both trading volume and regulatory compliance. The platform supports over 3,800 digital assets and serves more than  26 million users.

Gate’s ecosystem goes far beyond basic trading:

  • Spot & Derivatives: 3,800+ cryptocurrencies, up to 125x leverage
  • Auto-trading Bots: Grid, DCA, and Arbitrage strategies
  • GateChain: A secure Layer 1 blockchain for on-chain asset protection
  • Startup Launchpad: Airdrops, early access, and token launches
  • Finance & Wealth Tools: HODL & Earn, structured products
  • NFT Marketplace & P2P Trading: Simple access to digital goods and fiat onboarding
  • Institutional Services: Scalable infrastructure and tools for professional investors

Gate is also a leader in security and transparency, having been one of the first exchanges to implement zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) technology to verify asset reserves. According to its latest Proof of Reserves, Gate maintains over $10.453 billion in user assets, with a reserve ratio of 123.09%—underscoring an industry-leading level of protection and accountability.

Rebranding for the Next Generation

In May 2025, Gate unveiled a bold new global identity with the launch of Gate.com and a newly designed logo, marking a strategic shift toward becoming the next-generation crypto exchange.

This transformation aligns with Gate’s three-pillar vision:

  • Technological Innovation: Iterative product development and performance breakthroughs
  • Global Compliance: Active licensing in Japan, Dubai, Europe, and other jurisdictions
  • Ecosystem Integration: Expanding from trading into Web3 infrastructure and investment services

As part of its rebrand, Gate introduced its new Chinese name “Damen” (大门), meaning “The Gate” — symbolizing an open gateway into the future of finance. The aesthetic refresh and domain migration reflect Gate’s commitment to unifying its global presence while enhancing its credibility and accessibility across markets.

TRON DAO Amplifies Web3 Vision as Diamond Sponsor at GM Vietnam 2025

Tron DAO Diamond sponsor

We’re beyond excited to announce TRON DAO as a Diamond Sponsor of GM Vietnam 2025 – Vietnam Blockchain Week, taking place this August 1–2 at the National Convention Center in Hanoi.

This landmark partnership reflects TRON DAO’s enduring commitment to a decentralized future, setting the stage for bold ideas, major announcements, and high-value connections across the blockchain ecosystem.

Introducing TRON DAO

TRON DAO is a community-governed decentralized autonomous organization dedicated to accelerating the decentralization of the internet through blockchain technology and decentralized applications (dApps). 

Founded in 2017 by H.E. Justin Sun, the TRON network has rapidly evolved into one of the world’s most influential Layer 1 platforms. Since transitioning to a DAO in December 2021, TRON has fully embraced the spirit of Web3, shifting governance to its global community and fostering an open environment for innovation, transparency, and collaboration without intermediaries.

A Track Record of Impact

In an industry driven by velocity and vision, TRON DAO continues to distinguish itself through remarkable milestones and consistent, measurable growth.

As of May 2025, the TRON network has surpassed 312 million user accounts and facilitated more than 10 billion on-chain transactions, with over $23.5 billion in total value locked (TVL), according to TRONSCAN.

Behind this momentum is TRON’s commanding position in the global stablecoin economy. The network facilitates $20–30 billion in stablecoin transfers daily, contributing to more than $5 trillion in on-chain volume in 2024. Looking ahead, Justin Sun projects that figure could rise to $7 trillion in 2025 — not in market capitalization, but in real, sustained economic activity occurring directly on-chain.

Since 2021, TRON has consistently hosted the world’s largest circulating supply of Tether (USDT), now exceeding $78 billion, surpassing even Ethereum. This leadership has made TRON the go-to blockchain for stablecoin settlement, particularly in emerging markets, where speed, cost-efficiency, and accessibility are essential. 

But TRON’s ambitions extend far beyond metrics. In a landmark move, TRON was officially recognized as the national blockchain infrastructure for the Commonwealth of Dominica, becoming the first major Layer-1 protocol to partner with a sovereign nation. This collaboration granted statutory recognition to seven TRON-based tokens and set a new standard for blockchain-government integration.

TRON DAO is Coming in Full Force — Will You be There?

From ecosystem showcases to thought leadership, the TRON team will be engaging with builders, investors, and innovators throughout the two-day event.

Last year, TRON’s representative delivered a powerful keynote focused on thriving in the blockchain industry. This year, expect even deeper insight, bold announcements, and exclusive access to one of the most active ecosystems in the world.

Catch us in Hanoi and be part of the global conversation shaping the future of decentralization. Stay tuned for more updates on TRON DAO’s programming, speaker reveals, and interactive sessions at GM Vietnam 2025.

About TRON DAO

TRON DAO is a community-led decentralized autonomous organization committed to accelerating the decentralization of the internet via blockchain technology and dApps. Since its launch in 2017 by H.E. Justin Sun, TRON has grown into one of the largest blockchain ecosystems in the world — empowering millions of developers, users, and institutions to build and scale in Web3.

“GM Vietnam represents a pivotal moment for blockchain enthusiasts and professionals from Vietnam to worldwide.

The partnership reflects a shared pursuit of excellence through discipline, data, and innovation, reinforcing BingX’s vision to bridge Web3 with global culture and inspire both traders and fans worldwide.

More than a Sponsor

Title Sponsor at GM Vietnam 2025 goes far beyond visibility. This is a statement that BingX isn’t here to follow the trends, but to shape the future of Web3 from the ground up.

BingX is doubling down on its mission to catalyze the next wave of decentralized innovation with AI as core, right where the momentum is real, the builders are bold, and the energy is unstoppable.

Last year at GM Vietnam 2024, Vivien Lin, Chief Product Officer at BingX, made headlines with a powerful keynote on Web3 incubation. She emphasized BingX Labs’ unwavering commitment to Vietnam and shared how the exchange empowers early-stage projects with real infrastructure, strategic mentorship, and deep ecosystem support.

“Vietnam isn’t just a market for us, it’s a launchpad for innovation, where we pilot new features, build strong community engagement, and shape strategies before scaling them globally,” Lin stated. That commitment still holds, and it’s about to go even deeper.

Join us at GM Vietnam 2025, where BingX will once again take the stage to help chart the next chapter of the decentralized future!

The state of IEO on centralized exchanges

The state of IEO on centralized exchanges

Since 2023, market sentiment has shifted away from traditional Launchpads, where investors’ chances of winning tickets were based on their stake size. As the randomness factor became obsolete and investors prioritized certainty over mere capital gains, Launchpool has emerged as the preferred method for introducing new projects on exchanges. This report reviews the state of Initial Exchange Offering (IEO) activity on centralized exchanges (CEX).

Analysis

After analyzing a dozen CEXs, we shortlisted seven exchanges to report on their IEO activities based on community engagement and trading volume. These exchanges include Binance, Bitget, Bybit, Gate, HTX, Kucoin, and OKX.

Market size

At the time of writing, there have been over 250 IEO events so far this year. While a few exchanges go hyperactive on listing (211), others stay selective (2). With the median of 16 events, however, every exchange follows a pattern to launch IEOs during the bullish market sentiment.

Based on YTD data of total value committed, we estimate that the IEO market size will exceed 93 billion USD this year.

The dominant CEX – Binance has consistently performed well in IEOs and attracts the highest capital into its Launchpool. Over 2.89 billion USD committed on average to the exchange’s Launchpool year-to-date. That is 21 times more than the runner-up, and significantly higher than all others in the list combined, for an average IEO event.

Project allocation

As the market leader, Binance is privileged to request the largest proportion of tokens compared to other exchanges. Projects on Binance’s Launchpool usually allocate a higher proportion of their token supply to IEOs, varying from 2% to 7%. In comparison, the median token allocation to IEOs is between 0.3% and 2.7%.

Among the seven exchanges, OKX and Binance have the highest token allocation values in USD, with averages of $2.75 million and $3 million, respectively. However, smaller exchanges such as HTX and Bitget lead in value committed per allocation category.

User participation

The number of IEO participants indicates the popularity and growth of the Launchpool. Binance continues to attract the most attention due to its top-tier reputation, but the most impressive growth has been observed at Bybit. This year, Bybit has seen a substantial increase in user participation, with a 10.2x growth in Launchpool and a 2.5x growth in Launchpad.

Considering the barrier to entry, most CEXs have implemented a close-to-zero capital requirement policy to attract users. Nonetheless, the ceiling level has no limit or remains relatively high, indirectly allowing large investors to enter the retail pool.

Since the trend shifted from Launchpad to Launchpool, users can now join IEOs through subscriptions, which have become the most popular option. The lottery system still exists on a few CEXs but is limited to Launchpads.

Token performance

The most compelling reason to join an IEO is the return on investment. Binance sets the benchmark with the highest figures in both current and all-time high (ATH) ROI, at 12.5x and 46x, respectively. Other CEXs may be able to boost ATH, but none have matched Binance’s long-term performance.

Market sentiment

To gain further insights into market sentiment, we conducted a short survey on the Coin68 website, Vietnam’s leading crypto and blockchain news portal. A total of 571 people participated in the survey from August 6-9.

The survey reveals two key insights: the most favored exchange for IEOs and the amount our users are willing to invest in an IEO.

The results were unsurprising, with Binance, Bybit, and OKX being the most popular IEO platforms. Binance leads the segment, with 3 out of 5 users voting for the exchange. Despite being the most active exchange in terms of IEO numbers, Gate garnered relatively little interest.

For the preferred investment amount, our users can be clearly divided into two segments, so-called the Fish and the Whale. Considering that the GDP per capita of Vietnam in 2023 is $4,200 (GSO), the Fish bet is relatively small, mostly under $500 on an IEO. Meanwhile, the Whale’s behavior leans toward the highest value options in the questionnaire i.e. >$8,000. The middle options are neglected to some extent showing a differentiation between the two groups of investor in Vietnam.

Epilogue

Through the assessment of IEO activity on seven major CEXs, we can outline a successful pattern: quality over quantity. Performance in the long run and strategic adaption to the market need can always outweigh short-term gains. The previous bull run used to observe the rise of IDO and various DEX launchpads, yet few have survived till now.

This time when the ETF big money plays more roles in the crypto market, let’s see who remains when the tide’s low.
